And baby cries, he cries his eyes out
Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on
With her child in her arms
Oh, two shots to her chest and a blow to his own head
Darker clouds cover her paradise
Seems like they never let each other go
Oh, and over and over again
And Pops had nothing to let his anger on
Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on"
And it goes on forever and ever
Lost in imagination, she was left alone
Oh, he beat her cold, yes he did
Seems like they've made it to the other side
Where the grass is greener
"Get up, get up," he brings her to her feet
On and on and on he goes, until he brings out a gun
Next door, yelling, cries, mercy, she is begging, "Please
Next door, yelling, cries, mercy, she's begging, "Please"
Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on"
She used to pray on her knees
Behind enemy lines
And says to her, "Stop crying and bring me my son"
Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on
He beat her cold
She covers her eyes and hides
Begging, "Please," begging, "Please"
Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on"
She said "Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on
That have stained their souls together now
And the sky is always blue
Deep at night, I'm awaken from my dreams
Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on
He brings her to her feet 'til she can no longer stand
He cries harder and harder
And a, "Darling, I would never leave, never leave"
'Till she falls to the ground
She loves him more, he loves her more
When she was just ten years old
Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on
Laughing and kissing, it's a match made in Heaven
She cries harder and harder
Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on
Imprints the ink deep in the inner
And smacks her down
Behind the rings on their fingers
But there is only room for two
Don't end my life, you're all I need"
She's come back, hostage
Staying soul mates forever now
Deep at night, I'm awakened from my dreams
Oh, she quickly loses breath and then rushes to the bed
She says, "Baby, please don't, don't do this"
And then she prayed on her knees
Oh, and still the beating never ends
You see twenty years ago
"Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on
Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on
And she walks through the night
She said "Save him, save him from the hand that he beats me on
